  • Xintiandi
    Explore XinTianDi, once a residential alley, now one of modern China's most renowned real estate developments. In this trendy shopping district, let's uncover hidden traditional Shikumen houses, which once accommodated two-thirds of Shanghai's population at their peak. Step into another peaceful alley, tucked away from the busy streets around it. Many locals still reside here—elderly women hang laundry in the passageways, while grandfathers ride their bikes through the tight lanes, picking up their grandchildren from school. It’s a beautiful glimpse of everyday life!
  • Fuxing Park
    Stroll through the sunken gardens and past the grand fountain, you might feel as if you've stepped into Paris rather than Shanghai! Despite a century of wars and social changes, much of the park has been wonderfully preserved. Here, you can witness lively scenes of locals playing the saxophone, practicing Tai Chi, and performing with Chinese yo-yos.
  • Sinan Mansions
    Enjoy a coffee, beer, or drink in a boutique café nestled in a historic building
  • Tian Zi Fang
    Ride a premier taxi and head to TianZiFang, a former century-old residential alley that evolved into an artistic hub in the 1990s, drawing in galleries and studios. Today, it’s a lively destination celebrated for its creative charm and artsy atmosphere. Stroll through its maze-like lanes, where we’ve uncovered a few hidden studios for unique Chinese arts and crafts. Select your favorite experience from our handpicked collection and craft a personalized keepsake to bring home.
  • Wukang Road
    Take a premier taxi to explore Wukang Road, a beloved destination known for its tree-lined streets, stunning architecture, and artistic charm. Along the way, we’ll introduce you to some of the most fascinating buildings, sharing the stories behind their unique designs. And, of course, we’ll stop by the iconic Wukang Mansion—often called the "Little Flatiron"—arguably the most famous building in all of Shanghai!
